If you are not familiar with the sculptural talents of Trevor Grove, please click on his name and visit his gallery. His skill is astonishing! If you collect statues at all, chances are you have a few of his pieces on your shelves. I know I do.
On very rare occasions I’ll peruse eBay with no particular item in mind. It was during one one such random cruising I stumbled upon this amazing Phantasm resin kit. It was designed to match the animated maquettes that DC Direct produced many years ago. I snagged it as fast as I could! What you see here is my painted, finished piece.
I did not know the statue’s origin, though. Through a little internet sleuthing I discovered it was sculpted by Trevor many years ago, and only a few copies were made. I feel very lucky to have one on my shelf. Thanks, Trevor!

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
Hello,
would you be able to tell me how you made the text “phantasm Batman: mask of the phantasm 1993” to match the other WB maquettes. I would like to make some customs but can’t figure out what is the best technique to apply the text.
Thanks!!
I just printed up some text. Can’t recall if I used Photoshop or InDesign. The font isn’t 100% accurate, but it’s close enough. Feel free to drop me a reminder email and I will look for the file and send it your way. casimir@pilliod.net
